“pulls in many historic elements that the area is made famous for.” Brick and wood starts at street level and carries through the upper floors, capped off with a signature roofline. The homes feature bay windows and balconies, which also encourage privacy. The interiors of the homes are also exemplary, Jess adds. They also feature brick and wood, combined with features like barndoors andbuilt-in shelving. The kitchens feature quartz countertops and backsplash, Samsung gas ranges, Blomberg fridges, and convenient details like large basin sinks. Elvin Toews is an experienced real estate agent and another member of RFP’s management team. He emphasizes how important it was for the building “to look like it belonged in an historic downtown neighborhood.” “We wanted the buildings to be new and have a lot of modern features, but we wanted the exterior to reflect the history of the neighborhood,” he explains. “We believe we accomplished that. The building is obviously brand new, but there are a lot features that make it blend in. It looks like it belongs.” It’s been about a year since Upper Montrose was fully delivered. Elvin says the feedback they have since gotten from residence has been “really, really positive.” “There have been no real issues,” he reports. “People are really enjoying the area and they are enjoying their homes.” On top of everything else, that enjoyment speaks to the quality of the product that RFP delivered. They have an in-house building division that builds out their own projects, so that quality is a credit to both their supervision and the relationships they have built with local subcontractors and trades. “We’ll go out to a lot of subcontractors, but we use the same people probably 85 per cent of the time,” Jess explains. “We like to stick with the people we trust, and with people who trust us.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
